No one ever thinks of the mutated apple that is 10 x's bigger and juicier that can feed an entire family for a week. Either way, I don't see how cloning apples or fruit could run the risk of "dangerous" mutations. All they're doing is taking the DNA that exists and replicating it. If anything, I would think that would mean they are at less risk for genetic mutations. Am I missing something here???
It's the same thing our body does, only we are guiding the replication instead of our body, and that's where the problem is. As of now, we don't know all the details to how everything works in our body and our body has a better track record at successful replication. That's not to say that we can't discover all the details to replication and figure out how to do it better than what's built into our bodies natural process. I want one of those 10X larger steaks! :moo:

Are we talking about animal cloning? or are we talking about human cloning. animal cloniong is alright, only if we use it to re-build endangered speceis. Human cloning is bad because we are already struggling to keep this world in balance. We wouldn't want to over throught the people population for something as simple as cloning. Although I did wish that i had a twin!

I think we're just talking about cloning in general.

Why is that the only acceptable purpose?

Come again? Over what the people population? For something as simple as cloning?
